MIA Youth Development Sport Policy

Malta Independent Friday, 19 August 2005, 00:00 Last update: about 20 years ago

After the recent announcement of MIA’s new sponsorship policy in the field of sport, the Kunsill Malti ghall-iSport is inviting all affiliated national sports associations to nominate the most promising athletes to benefit from the MIA Youth Development Sport Policy.

The aim of the policy, an initiative that MIA has taken with the KMS, is to invest in young athletes who have the potential to excel in various sport disciplines. An Evaluation Committee was set up jointly between MIA and the KMS and has set the criteria and obligations on which athletes may now be nominated. The committee will then scrutinise the recommendations and will finally approve the beneficiaries of the programme.

The MIA Youth Development Sport Policy will focus on the most talented athletes or teams within two age categories – the junior level for athletes aged 8 to 14 and the youth level up to the age of 21. It will provide assistance to athletes to develop their skills further with an emphasis on training camps abroad.

MIA has been very active in promoting sport in Malta and the policy reflects its social responsibility towards promoting a healthier lifestyle and instils a greater sense of national pride among the Maltese. To team up with the KMS, the agency entrusted with the administration and promotion of sport across all age groups and abilities, was a natural progression for both organisations.After the recent announcement of MIA’s new sponsorship policy in the field of sport, the Kunsill Malti ghall-iSport is inviting all affiliated national sports associations to nominate the most promising athletes to benefit from the MIA Youth Development Sport Policy.
